June 17, 2017 Albuquerque, New Mexico - Continuing from Part 1 with the June 13, 2017, leaked 47 pages of a Defense Intelligence Agency document dated January 8, 1989, from two alleged retired military sources who gave it to Heather Wade, host of Midnight in the Desert. Heather wants to distribute the document widely for analysis and feedback.

As for the history of the MAJIC-12 Group and its membership and investigations, the complete records are available with proper clearance through the Office of Counterintelligence of the DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY and are on microfilm at this time. The written minutes and and transcripts of all directorate meetings as well as a full record of all investigations in their original form are located at the MJ-12 ?????? "bigger Command" and situated at the decommissioned Marine Air Station at Flat Rock, Nevada.

[ Editor's Note: Is the use of the phony name Flat Rock a cover for Frenchman Flat at the Nevada Test Site?

Frenchman Flat is a hydrographic basin in the Nevada National Security Site south of Yucca Flat and north of Mercury, Nevada. The flat was used as an American nuclear test site and has a 5.8 sq mi (15 km2) dry lake bed (Frenchman Lake) that was used as a 1950s airstrip before it was chosen after the start of the Korean War for the Nevada Proving Grounds.

Nellis Air Force Base land 12 mi × 30 mi (19 km × 48 km) was transferred to the Atomic Energy Commission on which Site Mercury was constructed on Frenchman Flat for supporting American nuclear explosive tests. The 1951 Operation Ranger "Able" test (ground zero at UTM Coordinates 923758 on the Frenchman Flat) was the first continental U.S. nuclear detonation after the 1945 Trinity test, and Frenchman Flat also had the only detonation of an American artillery-fired nuclear projectile in the 1953 Upshot-Knothole Grable test using the M65 Atomic Cannon.

This site is now under the covering authority of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the story having been circulated widely that this base is involved in the long-term monitoring of residual radiation levels that resulted from the A-bomb testing nearby in the 1950s. With the exception of a monitoring ???? at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, for the sending up of all sightings referred through the Dept. of the Air Force, all gathering operations are now located at the Nevada site. Over a period of years, all recovered evidence from the crashed alien craft has been transported to underground storage at Flat Rock [ Frenchman Flat], making full use of the large ??? of fallout shelters built there starting in 1954.

Scientific and technical research and analysis for MAJIC-12 is being conducted at several places around the country. Small monitoring task units remain in place within the command structure of certain other branches of the ????? These include NORAD in Colorado and SAC in Nebraska for reporting radar sightings, and SEACOM (broadband submarine cable system) in Virginia and ????? in California for reporting of Naval encounters. The aeronautical research is being carried out by the Redstone Arsenal in Alabama, and linguistic studies are conducted at NASA's Ames research center in California. A team from Johns-Hopkins University and the National Institute of Health is reducing the biological and medical intelligence gathered by the project.

Just as the title implies, MAJIC-12 is headed by a directorate of twelve persons chosen for life (or until retirement), six are military ????? administrative positions, and six are private sector scientists ??? with long histories of governmental affiliations. All vacancies of the ??? are filled by an unanimous vote of seated directors. The President (U.S. ) may recommend an appointment, but while all other ???? lies with this office, membership on the MAJIC-12 directorate is mostly decided solely by that group. Such limitation of executive authority is a long-standing historical decision based on the ???? that these twelve persons belong to a small family of ??? Only from within such a family is it possible to have a touch of the "special mindset" required for this very ???? kind of work. It has been said by a former director of the group that ??? understanding of alien minds requires an alien mind.

The organizational structure of OPERATION MAJESTIC-12 is arranged into three (3) tiers or levels, by order of a need-to-know information flow process. These are:

- DIRECTORATE - Composed of twelve members sharing equal authority and complete access to all information. The President is accepted to be the thirteenth member of this body, as well as its final authority.

- TASK UNITS - Composed of a variable number of scientific and information gathering groups and/or persons. The complete listing of current consultant in the sciences is available on request. Identities of military monitoring units and individuals must be requested through the directorates.

- ENFORCEMENT - Composed primarily of selected recruits from the Army Special Forces Command. These units are organized into companies known as "Blue Berets," and are trained and supported by Air Cavalry units based out of DIGGER COMMAND in Flat Rock, Nevada. Purpose includes containment of tactical situations, control of public awareness, panic, evacuation, etc. Originally created for the security of recovery sights (sic) during investigations and the transporting of sensitive evidence. Also includes a number of plain clothed operatives whose purpose is the spread of cover stories to avoid public fears about the inability of the government to control the situation. These members also operate diversions for civilian investigators to discourage such efforts so as to aid in control of public information and interest.

NOTE: The identities of the directorate, MJ-12 are held in the strictest secrecy. They are known only to each other and to the seated President of the United States. These names are never to be written down.

The purpose and need for the highly covert and ABOVE TOP SECRET designation of this operation will become apparent with the study of the following reports which led to the forming of OPERATION MAJESTIC-12. Since the time of these events, over forty years ago, the state of our science has advanced to the degree that we may see a measure of short-sightedness in the then-expedient actions of the administration. As a result of actions taken at that time, several sensitive developments have resulted which are of ever-increasing concern to the National Security of the United States of America.

On 07 JULY, 1947, a secret operation was begun to assure recovery of the wreckage of an unidentified flying object which had crashed at a remote site in New Mexico. The object was downed approximately seven ??? miles northwest of Roswell Army Air Station (later Walker Field) and were escorted to authorities there by a local rancher (William "Mac" Brazel). During the ???????, aerial reconnaissance discovered that four (4) small ???-like beings had apparently ejected from the craft at some ???? before it had exploded. These had fallen to earth about two miles ????? crash site where the wreckage was located. All of the four alien crew members were dead and badly decomposed due to action of processes and exposure to the elements during the approximately one week ????? prior to their recovery. A special scientific team took charge of the removal of the bodies and the recovery of the wreckage of the craft. Civilian and military witnesses in the area were debriefed and some reporters were given the effective cover story that a misguided weather balloon was responsible for the sighting.

A covert analytical effort organized by General Nathan F. Twining and Dr. Vannevar Bush acting on the direct orders of President Harry S. Truman, convened in a preliminary consensus (19 September, 1947) that the ?????? craft was most likely a short range reconnaissance ship. This conclusion was based for the most part on the craft's size and the apparent lack of provisioning. A similar analysis of the four deceased persons examined by Dr. Detlev Bronk. It was the tentative conclusion of the group (30 November, 1947) that although these aliens are generally human-like in appearance, the biological and evolutionary ??????? for their development has apparently been quite different from those observed or postulated in homo-sapiens (earth humans). Dr. Bronk suggested the term, since then widely applied, of "extraterrestrial biological entities," or EBEs, for these creatures, until such time that a definitive designation can be agreed upon. It was the ???? decision of the scientists involved in this investigation that these entities most certainly did not originate with the ???? on the earth.

The crash near Roswell occurred sometime in the evening of 2/3 July 1947. At about 20:47 hours (near midnight) at least two dozen persons in the area observed a bright yellow or "sun colored" disc-shaped object over the area. On 3 July 1947, in the early afternoon, the widely scattered wreckage was discovered by local ranch manager William Brazel and his son and daughter.

[Editor's Note: Also known as "Mac Brazel."]

The authorities of the Roswell Field Army Air Forces Base were alerted by Mr. Brazel at 9:18 of 07 July, 1947, and two officers of the base were guided to the crash site by the ranch manager.

[ Editor's Note: Other local Roswell sources have said that rancher Mac Brazel went to see the Chaves County Sheriff George Wilcox closer to the holiday of July 4, 1947, not July 7th.]

These (officers) were Major Jesse Marcel, staff intelligence officer of the 509th Bomb Group Intelligence Office, and Captain Lee Cerns of the Counter-Intelligence Corps.

When the two officers returned to Roswell Field with samples of the crash site material, they immediately reported to Colonel William Blanchard of Air Tactical Command. It was at this point that the first of many decisions were made that have gone into the historical posture of this government's position on the public's need-to-know about the situation. Colonel Blanchard released an official press statement confirming that wreckage of a flying disc had been recovered. This was phoned in to an Albuquerque, New Mexico, radio station without approval from higher level command in the Army Air Corps. Indeed, no one in the Pentagon or anywhere else was notified or consulted prior to the release of this information.

In defense of Colonel Blanchard's actions, it should be noted that no established procedure on the issue existed at the time. There were no Office of Special Investigations, Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, or Defense Intelligence Agency or any other similar such organization at that time. It should be noted that within less than two years following this incident, and as its direct result, all of the above agencies were established with the exception of the Defense Intelligence Agency which was chartered in 1961.

At nearly the same time on the evening of 07 July, two events were taking the incident in widely different directions at widely separated locations. In Roswell, Major Marcel was ordered by Colonel Blanchard to load the debris onboard a B-29 aircraft and fly it to Wright Field (now Wright-Patterson AFB) at Dayton, Ohio, for examination. As this was being done, a reporter from the Albuquerque radio station called to Wright Field to confirm the crash with the commanding general there. This was Lt. General Nathan Twining, Air Materiel Command, where any such reported incident should have been filed. In fact, the wreckage and all persons involved were already on their way to Wright Field. But this was the first that General Twining had heard of the matter. Twining was forced to state that he knew nothing of a crashed disc craft.

Upon finally receiving verbal confirmation by open telephone line from Colonel Blanchard of Roswell Field, General Twining did three things rapid order in an effort to contain the situation. First, he sent special orders by secured teletype to Blanchard at Roswell, instructing him to do nothing and talk to no one until further orders from him. Then Twining used the same system to contact General Roger Ramey, who was in command at Carswell Army Air Force Base (HQ-8th Air Force), in Fort Worth, Texas, ordering him to direct Major Marcel to vector a ??? for an intermediate stop at Carswell, which was on his flight path. General Ramey was instructed to A. remove the recovered debris from Marcel's aircraft and place it onboard another in sealed crates to forward to Wright Field. B. order Marcel and his crew not to talk to reporters. C. notify the press of a photo conference to be held at Roswell where an explanation would be given. D. state at the conference that the wreckage was only the remains of a weather balloon and its attached tinfoil radar target and prominently display created evidence of same and return Major Marcel at once to Roswell Field. Then General Twining set up an open teletype in the newsrooms at the two Albuquerque radio stations ordering them to cease transmission of the original story and to contact the Roswell Office of Public Information for the correct release. Finally, the general boarded a plane and flew directly to Roswell Field in New Mexico.

At his arrival in Roswell, General Twining relieved Colonel Blanchard of command and ordered troops to set up a secured perimeter around the desert crash site. He then personally supervised the total policing of the area and removal of all remaining evidence, as well as the four day briefing of Major Marcel and the six day debriefing of rancher Brazel who he held incommunicado until the clean-up was complete.

The wreckage recovered at Roswell consisted of three hundred and twenty-seven (327) fragmented pieces of various structural debris. Most prominent among those were beams of many lengths and ranging in diameter thickness from just over half an inch to just under two inches. These were found to be composed of a very light and porous metal alloy composed of extremely pure aluminum and silicon mixed with zirconium in an unknown crystalline structure. The beams were flexible and were absolutely unaffected by both oxyacetylene and oxyhydrogen blowpipe torches.

Editor's Note:Oxyacetylene blowpipe uses a mixture of oxygen and acetylene for cutting or welding metals at high temperatures. An oxyhydrogen torch is an oxy-gas torch, which burns hydrogen (the fuel) with oxygen (the oxidizer). It is used for cutting and welding, metals, glass, and thermoplastics.]

Several of these (beams) contained hieroglyphic and alphabetic writings of unknown type molded onto their surfaces. Also found were many pieces of a thin, metallic felt-like material presumed to have been the outer coating of the craft's hull, or skin.”
